Broken clockspring.
- Norwood, NJ, USA
Tamara inflators see where right hand drive has been recalled. Took my Jeep to dealer, they told me they have seen hundreds with this problem, one dealer. Also said my airbags was disabled because of this. I would like to know I am safe after paying this much for a Jeep. I only have 64,000 miles on it. Dealership said they should be recalled, so many 2010.

On my 2010 Jeep Wrangler dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for my 2010 and many other Jeep Wrangler (jk version) owners. The cause of this light has been shown time and time again to be a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2008 Jeep Wrangler during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Jeep has had clockspring recalls previously with their 2007 Wrangler, but this recall has not been extended to the 2008- versions. Daimler Chrysler has refused to voluntarily address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying.

Tamara recall, airbag light comes on and off, repair shop checked the codes, tells me when the light is on, the airbag is disabled. I checked and found thousand of complaints with same problem. Also found recall with right side steering, but none for left side. Took to dealership, $700. This defect should be a concern before people get killed. Taking this seriously, airbags are useless. Once I am driving, it comes on, chimes every couple of minutes.

- Aurora, CO, USA
My airbag light keeps going on and off every minute while I was driving. I took it in to have it get looked at and the dealership informed me that it was a clock-spring issue. I did some research and selected Jeep models from 2007 to 2012 had a recall for this issue. When I contacted crystler on this issue they informed me that my Jeep is not part of the recall even though it is the same problem as other Jeep. It is going to cost about $700 out of pocket to fix this issue on my Jeep.

- Tracy, CA, USA
The airbag clockspring assemblies needed to be replaced in my left-hand drive Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep Wrangler already has a recall for right-hand drive models addressing broken airbag clockspring assemblies. Recall number: 13V176000 in the event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment, a broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver-side frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injuries. In my opinion this is a serious safety risk in the Jeep Wrangler. I received the warning light while the Jeep was in motion, and luckily I was near a Jeep dealership (bill bryan Chrysler Dodge Jeep, fruitland park, fl 34731) where I had the broken airbag clockspring assembly replaced to the tune of $500.
- Livingston, TX, USA
I was driving to work on 10-5-15 when a drunk driver pulled out in front of me, I had no time to stop but when my 2010 Jeep Wrangler unlimited hit their vehicle, I immediately smelled and saw smoke comming from the engine compartment of my Jeep. I drove to the side of the road where I quickly got out and made it just in time because the vehicle quickly burst into flames. My airbags also did not deploy which I thought odd because I was traveling around 45 mph at the time of the accident.

There are recalls already for the issue below for right hand steering vehicles. This recall should be applied to all Jeep Wrangler vehicles 2007-2012. A broken electrical circuit in the airbag clockspring wiring assembly can lead to non-deployment of the driver frontal airbag and will not be able to properly protect the driver in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injuries. Anytime that the steering wheel is moved from neutral/straight position the airbag light will turn on and a chime is heard.

Air bag warning light began illuminating when driving in straight line, when turning the light turns off until driving straight again. This is a left hand drive vehicle with the same symptoms as the recall placed on right hand drive models of the same year.
